This weathering steel trail sign for the Channel Islands National Park is made to last for many decades. The signboard is made of two layers of Corten steel welded and riveted together. The front layer has letters and an arrow cut through it with a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) laser cutter. The back layer is solid and provides a background to to the open letters. The sign is then welded to a Corten weathering steel post. This type of steel rusts on its surface when exposed to air and moisture, producing a rich orangish-red color with a variegated patterns. Corten steel signs and posts cannot be painted. They rust naturally and become quite attractive a month or so after installation. This photo shows a sign immediately after it has been fabricated, before it has time to rust.
